Mantova form and stats

It's a day of discovery for Mantova as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Mantova have played one with the results W0-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Mantova has scored 2 goals and conceded 3 times.

A job perfectly done for Mantova last season as they secured promotion from Serie D: Girone D. With a grand total of 14 wins, 9 draws and 1 defeat the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 6 were in away matches.
